Hospital Management System

A system enabling Hospitals to manage information and data related to all aspects of healthcare

Processes , Providers , Patients , and more,

Which in turn ensures that processes are completed swiftly and effectively.
Several components work together to add value to an organization:

1. Hardware- physical components

2. Software
a. Instructions that tell the physical components what to do
i. Operating systems interacts with the hardware
ii. Application software interacts with the user
3. Data - collection of facts
4. People - Doctors, Nurses, Technicians (Medical and Non Medical)
5. Process - Series of steps to achieve a desired outcome

Improves interaction between the patient and the hospital.

With faster, secure, and easy data retrieval, a hospital/healthcare facility would be able to
provide better and efficient care to the patients

With every department interconnected and integrated into the HMS, the quality of patient
care can be enhanced, leading to greater customer satisfaction and lowered turnovers

Boosts productivity and establishes a routine

An effective HMS will be based on the standard operating procedures ( and best practices,
leaving little or no room for error

Makes patient’s data easily retrievable

The HMS enables your health facility to care for its patients better through faster processes,
storing and analysis of patient history, preparation and access of real time reports,
appointment scheduling and tracking, and many more such processes

Employees too, find it easier to manage the huge numbers of patients, records, and other
jobs critical to the smooth functioning of a healthcare facility

Keep the hospital data secure

Ensures that all data remains interlinked and with high security

Translates to ease of data storage and retrieval by authorized personnel only

Cost effective solution

The risk of improper billing, financial management, fraud, and other financial related issues
are kept to the minimum with an effective HMS

Further costs are reduced since the requirement of a larger human workforce is lowered

Manual tasks such as record maintenance and storage can easily be managed by the system,
thereby freeing humans to focus on higher level tasks

In addition to better utilization of human capital, healthcare facilities also cut costs with
relation to storage and maintenance of a large number of records

Only mandatory physical records would need storing in order to remain compliant with
regulation standards

Cloud Computing - The way of future

Cloud computing is the delivery of computing services including servers, storage, databases,
networking, software, analytics, and intelligence over the Internet (“the cloud”) to offer faster
innovation, flexible resources, and economies of scale. You typically pay only for cloud services you
use, helping you lower your operating costs, run your infrastructure more efficiently, and scale as
your business needs change

Types of cloud computing

Public cloud:

Public clouds are owned and operated by third party cloud service providers, which deliver
computing resources like servers and storage over the internet. With a public cloud, all hardware,
software, and other supporting infrastructure is owned and managed by the cloud provider. You
access these services and manage your account using a web browser.

Private cloud:

A private cloud refers to cloud computing resources used exclusively by a single business or
organization. A private cloud can be physically located on the company’s onsite data center. A private
cloud is one in which the services and infrastructure are maintained on a private network

Hybrid cloud:

Hybrid clouds combine public and private clouds, bound together by technology that allows data and
applications to be shared between them. By allowing data and applications to move between private
and public clouds, a hybrid cloud gives your business greater flexibility and more deployment options
and helps optimize your existing infrastructure, security, and compliance.

Types of cloud services:

IaaS, PaaS and SaaS

Infra structure as service, Platform as service, Software as service

Mobile Technology in Health Care

Mobile phones have brought in a revolution in the way we live We increasingly look to social media
to inform our personal and business decisions Our expectations on communications, data, content,
and applications have increased dramatically and we look for instantaneous access to information ..‘
anytime’,‘ access to information has become a vital requirement in today’s world

With smarter hospitals patients can view their reports and treatment summaries online, book and
appointment to their preferred consultant, receive invoice and payment information, search for the
best suited care provider and browse more information on their medical conditions

TYPES OF HIS

Outsource data management

In House data Management

Outsource Healthcare

Outsourcing is an increasingly popular strategy that healthcare organisations can use to control the
rising costs of providing services.

With outsourcing , an external contractor assumes responsibility for managing one or more of a
healthcare organisation's business, clinical, or hospitality services.

In-House Healthcare

Tackling analytics in house with a own IT setup In this approach, a health system aggregates data
from its own sources clinical, financial, and other to create a data foundation for improvement
projects.

This process of analytics deals with improving performance internally rather than comparing
performance with external peers.

A key component of this work is focusing on the fidelity of the data, where details matter as it rolls
into the bigger picture.

Cons of Outsource

Benchmarking focuses simply on highlighting high level outcomes. It does not provide insight on how
to change those outcomes

Reliability and accuracy of data is another drawback with this process.

Security of data is not sure in outsource system.

Reduce Quality Control

Share Financial Burdens

Benefits of HIS (In House Healthcare)

1.Easy Access To Patient Data the ability to determine data lineage

EXAMPLE:

If the treating doctor needs to re check the test reports of a patient, she/He need not go looking for
the IPD file; logging into the particular report application will give her/him instant access to those
reports and timely treatment decisions ensue.

2. Cost Effective

HIS, when implemented well, cuts out on a lot of manual work that are essentially performed in
hospitals.

It helps in cutting down manpower because a lot of work gets automated and does not require
manual intervention to store or analyze the information.

It also saves much on storage and the related costs.

3. Improved Efficiency

Processes automated using software would mean that the processes will be taken care of
mechanically without any human intervention and this will instantly ensure improved efficiency.

The software will not face human problems like fatigue, miscommunication or lack of focus; it will
perform every task assigned to it with the same accuracy day in and day out.

4. Reduces Scope of Error

Automated and a lot of tasks are assigned to the software, so scope of error is reduced

5.Increased Data Security & Retrieve- ability

All the data is stored on the server or cloud, keeping it safe.

works on logins, data security is becomes a non issue offering data access based on the role of the
person Receptionist, doctor, nurse, radiologist etc.

Retrieve-ability of data stored on a server.

6. Improved Patient Care

Improved access to patient data and improved work efficiency means better and faster clinical
decisions.

Security Levels

Authentication

Access control

Audit trails

Physical security of communications, computer, and display systems

Control of external communications links and access

Exercise of software discipline across the organization

System backup and disaster recovery procedures

System self assessment and maintenance of technological awareness.
